Verse 1: 
Am7/9                             C9 
When shadows fall he'll close his eyes 
              G9       
To hear the clocks unwind, 
F              C        G        Am7/9 
Powerless to leash the hands of time 
Am7/9                 C9                         G9 
Kindgoms fall the earth revolves the rain will come this spring, 
       F              C           G         F 
and nothing he could say would change a thing 


F      C       G         F 
Seven wonders crowed the man 
         C      G 
Knowing six are gone 
    D       G/B     C9         A    D 
And how the great illusion lingers on  
 
Verse 2: 
Am7/9                      C9                G9 
He can't enfold the sun or moon or wind within his hands 
     F                     C         G       Am7/9      
But count the times he'll shout the great I am 
Am7/9                        C9              G9 
With all the while a pontiff smile, veiling his disgrace 
   F             C         G      F 
At never owning more than second place.

F      C       G         F 
Seven wonders crowed the man 
         C      G 
Knowing six are gone 
    D       G/B     C9         A    
And how the great illusion lingers  
    D    G/B     C9        A    
All the grand illusion lingers 
D         G/B  C9        A      D 
While the sad confusion lingers on
